Custom Scrapbook Design Needed

I’m putting together a personalised scrapbook and want every page to feel thoughtfully curated. The focus is purely on paper-based scrapbooking, and I’d like you to work mainly with decorative papers—mixing patterns, textures, and layered cuts to give the album a cohesive, artistic look.

Here’s what I have in mind:
• 20 pages (10 double-sided spreads) sized 8 × 8 inches.
• A consistent colour palette that you help me choose so the decorative papers flow from start to finish.
• Pockets or fold-outs in a few places so I can slip in extra keepsakes later.

I won’t be adding photos or stickers right now, but please leave space or subtle placeholders so I can slot those elements in afterwards if I change my mind. Adhesives, corner mounts, and page protectors should all be acid-free to keep the paper from yellowing over time.

Deliverables:
1. Finished, bound scrapbook—or unbound pages packed flat if shipping costs make that easier.
2. A short materials list, just in case I want to replicate or expand the design later.
3. Clear progress photos before final assembly so I can request tweaks.

If you already have a favourite brand of decorative paper or specific cutting tools (e.g., Cricut, Silhouette), feel free to mention them; I’m open to your expertise. Looking forward to seeing how you can transform simple sheets into a keepsake album.
